Well I like the fact that you believe the power actually lies with the people. But I think its folly to think there can be a world where everyone is equal. Happiness will always exist on top of sadness.
The trick is, I am fine with my rich ass overlords until they try and turn me into a true slave. If they try and take away my weapons, and my rights as a human being, they'll regret it, because i'm not the only one who thinks this way, and has the training and the means to back up their claims.
We will not win in a war, but I am of the mind to take millions of dollars worth of property and several lives with me in a suicidal rampage of crimes against our masters if things come to that.
They know this, and THAT is why they will not cross the line. They are slowly trying to tame us, and make us numb before they completely enslave the working class. And yes I believe classes still exist.
